SARA for the role of REGULUS BLACK using the faceclaim NICOLE MAINES.

I am very excited about your portrayal of this character! Not only have you given life to the plots hinted at in the skeleton, but you’ve threaded new layers of meaning into Regulus’ story. I can’t wait to see them explored on the dash!

ooc details

Name: Sara

Age: im a fandom grandparent

Pronouns: they/them

Activity Level: I’m around every day and enjoy making a mess of things in game

Other: No triggers though my character might end up triggering others. I’ll make sure to tag.

Acknowledgement: I acknowledge that the themes of this game may include triggering elements. I also acknowledge that my character may be harmed, coerced, or even killed (with player’s consent) during paras/events or may cause harm to or kill others during paras/events. Yep here4themess

general ic details

Name: Regulus Arcturus Black

Age: 19 | January 23rd

Ships: Regulus is rather aromantic in manner so a romantic is unlikely. Even still, I’d be happy to try any ships, any nonromantic ships etc. Warning: please read the whole app prior to seeking a ship with Regulus given that any sort of romantic/nonromantic/sexual ship might contain triggering experiences.

TBH my dream ships are probably more found family/family oriented… polyamorous with an asexual asshole who is a little skew?

Gender/Pronouns: publicly Regulus is still he/him but there will be a blending and fucking up of pronouns as Regulus explores and comprehends her gender (likely ultimate ending but nonbinary is also possible). This is different then how i sometimes write trans characters because in this game one aspect of her narrative will be the concept of growing up and understanding she can be who she wants to be. Even if Regulus knew from a young age (which not all trans people do), Regulus would have innately rejected the idea because of the pride his mother has(d) in having the two heirs at a cost. This became even more pressing when Sirius left his role as heir and it landed to Regulus–suddenly Regulus’ choices shrank even more. Its only in death that she has started to comprehend that there are choices now.

So pronouns will be flying ALL THE WAYS but mostly reflecting how the character is presenting EXTERNALLY to others. FC will remain static but may not be used all the time due to the lack of stable presentation.

For this app He/Him were used exclusively as up until perhaps the past year Regulus presented exclusively as he/him.

bio questions

Please note, while this game is “canon” up until the start of the Wizarding War it does not stay canon and it’s quite divergent at the start of the game.

biography:

The Black Family is too old of a family line not to have gotten… muddled (never muddied) in the past. It shows on the family tree in little notations (a dark red swirl like an ink blot on their shoulder for vampire) or in burn-marks where a person used to be (for scum of the earth traitor). Sometimes, Regulus’ mother sniffed when explaining this, certain family members couldn’t do what needed to be done.

A little pruning never hurt anyone–not any more then a little cultivating did.

Regulus and Sirius Black might have been half brothers but that was simply the most prudent action their parents could take to make absolutely certain the bloodline continued. Sure, children that shared both parents blood would have been ideal but with Druella only providing girls and Orion not providing any… Walburga Black was always very good at problem solving. Perhaps the only problem she failed to solve was her eldest son Sirius–or maybe she almost fixed it with Regulus.

If Sirius Black was loud and brash and bright–Regulus was the opposite. He was a late talker and when he did start talking it was almost always a last mumbled as a last resort. It wasn’t that Regulus wasn’t intelligent but that he struggled to organize his thoughts and provide them to others–something that continued through childhood, through Hogwarts, and beyond. He preferred chess and finding patterns within potions, charms, and even Quidditch to social obligations.

Prone to being misunderstood when he did attempt to make friends (he wasn’t threatening that girl, he was warning her so she wouldn’t be hurt), Regulus over values any and all friends or family he has. As such, any disowning, death, or friendship breakup has been taken incredibly personally. Its no excuse, and Regulus knows that now more then ever, but the need for connection and purpose helped drive his passion for Voldemort. Regulus believed in what Voldemort was fighting, becoming a Death Eater would provide a structure that Regulus knew he would need outside of Hogwarts while learning how to manage the Black family vaults and investments, and there was a social aspect, too.

For all that Regulus was good at strategy and understanding how seemingly fragmented pieces of information fit together: he was too slow to understand what Voldemort’s real goals were and what they ultimately meant for his family (and the wizarding world, but his family, of course, was paramount). Regulus Black never woke up one day and started believing muggleborns were ‘okay’ or that his innate belief system was wrong. He woke up one day and realized that the few people he cared about were in danger in a way they did not, could not, understand.

The vampire blood was easy to get, although he hardly thought it would work. He had long since been in the habit of visiting Narcissa and feeding the prisoner James Potter. Adding a fail safe into James’ layers of memory charms was not easy but necessary. Most likely, even with the blood, even with over a month of planning, Regulus was certain he was going to die.

Which he did. It just didn’t stick.

It’s been almost a year since then and Regulus isn’t sure if it was the potion, the vampire blood, the way he died, or if he’s finally just turning into his mother’s child in ways he never wanted to–but Regulus Black can’t seem to get a grip on his emotions, or his tongue, the way he used to. In some ways, though, its a relief–like finally being able to peel off an ill-fitting skin for something new.

჻ ჻ ჻ ჻

my character is:

Please Provide the Following

A Belief that is Wrong

Please Describe a Belief your character has that is wrong. It can be something we, as players, know is wrong (ex. prejudice against werewolves ). Alternatively: How is your character lying to themselves (and how is is it shown externally).

Regulus has always had something about organization and if he thinks about it too much even he would have to acknowledge that it’s a lie. But Regulus generally doesn’t pay that much attention to the reality surrounding these habits, only the relief it brings him. His clothes are always pressed–even in his closet of a space with the Radical Alliance. The robes are cleaned, and charmed pressed, and hunt up in a very specific order. His bed is exactly one inch from the left wall. The trunk he keeps things in is under the bed and must not touch any of the posts or the wall. He keeps things perfectly separated inside the trunk. He counted the flur de lis on the carpet between his and Sirius’ bedrooms over and over and over again as a child. He can tell anyone how many panes of glass are in the windows at Hogwarts and even differentiate between wings of the castle. These habits (because, of course, that’s all they are, all they will ever be) didn’t start out so all encompassing but as Regulus grew up, as life became more complicated, choices too limited, finding ways to control it (even illogical ones) seemed to be the only answer.

If things are clean enough. If things are the right number. If he stops counting at the right moment, if he taps the right pattern : everything will be fine. There’s arithmancy in everything, he tells himself, because life has always been more bearable when he believes it to be true.

Job

Is Regulus Black Doing Anything? He isn’t sure, really. Certainly he doesn’t have a job–he’s never worked a traditional job a day in his life! He’s no longer a Death Eater. Can he continue to look after his family’s finances if he is, in a sense, dead?

Does he want to be alive? –Regulus wonders this sometimes, believing it not to be any sort of suicidal ideation but a simple, obvious question. Should he be alive? The answer is no.

Does he want to be–he doesn’t know.

As far as anyone knows (particularly Remus but also Marcus and Narcissa), Regulus Black has no job and is doing nothing but trying to pour his scrambled eggs of brain and impulse control back into some semblance of viability. Underneath that, Regulus Black is trying to pour his scrambled eggs of brain and impulse control back into some semblance of viability…and remember just what his next steps were supposed to be regarding the horcrux.

ooc questions

Writing Sample:

He’s at the stairs. Not the grand stars at the front of the house that fork and twist along the side of the foyer–but the back stairs. Servants stairs his mother would hiss if she saw them except none of their family have ever employed household staff.

House elves are bad enough, his mother says in his ear and Regulus jerks, expecting to feel her breath on his cheek but–nothing. Its nothing.

“I’ve food for the prisoner.” He says but its pointless because no one is listening. No one has been listening since Peter Pettigrew. Since Dumbledore. Since James. It is a mistake but they haven’t realized it yet.

He’s stood too long, frozen above the narrow staircase with a silver tray. Someone will see you–the thought hisses through his mind and Regulus knows, suddenly, with a clarity he’s been lacking: its not real. It’s not a part of this. A dream? The idea s fleeting and wilts under a brush of light as the curtains behind him are pulled open.

“Then go ahead, darling.” Narcissa says.

The memory jerks, skitters, speeds up.

“I’ve food for the prisoner.” He says. “I’ve food for–”

Regulus is down stairs and the food is gone, shoved to the side. The lip of the tray is pressed into his ankle but Regulus ignores it because–James.

“Listen to me,” Regulus is saying. It’s strange, like none of this is real because he can’t feel any of it. The words fall from his mouth because where is his tongue? His wand is tight in his left hand, the swirls carved into its handle cutting into his palm. He should smell blood, he thinks.

There’s nothing, though. The room is bleary with weak autumn light from a small window about ten feet above them. There’s a bed but James isn’t allowed to use it. He’s on the floor. Regulus is on the floor. No, he’s straddling James–James can’t move during this or else–or else.

James tenses under him and Regulus grabs a fist full of James’ fraying robes. “This is serious.” The robes are too tattered to bruise when Regulus’ jerks them. He can’t strangle James (and wouldn’t even if it would be a mercy)

“Why should I?” James, the fucker–it had been a month and he still had that smirk except there’s blood at the corner and this time (not the first time) Regulus can feel his stomach growl at the sight of it.

“It’s important.” Regulus has his wand pressed at James’ temple and his mouth brushes James’ cheek when he leans in to whisper. “You’ll thank me later.”

Regulus Black has never been good at mind magic.

When Regulus wakes up, he tastes salt water and bile.

Exploration:

Please share three things you’d like to explore. This could be a character changing sides, darker themes, or basic fiction tropes.

Family Lines: I think this game provides a particularly interesting set of circumstances regarding possible family lines. First there’s Narcissa and her condition–how did that happen? Possibly Regulus, trying to manage his life post cave and fucking up again ( or maybe it was a blessing?) I like to headcanon that maybe Alphard was a vampire and thats where the blood came from (open to other options). Speaking of, how has Walburga doing? And then there’s, of course, Sirius and all the brother’s baggage which is made even more complicated as (if this set up is accepted) Regulus sort of used Sirius’ best friend as a last will and testament–not that James remembers it yet. Last, … does Regulus even count as a live anymore and if not who has inherited ?

A Family Curse: The Black family has never exactly been known for its cool head and steady hands but Regulus, for all his somewhat muffled anxieties, has mostly stood out as awkward but not particularly memorable. In fact, it’s safe to say without his last name (and grades) Regulus probably wouldn’t have gotten much notice at all. That has largely changed now, although Regulus has trouble pin pointing why and how. There are a lot of factors, many of which no one else knows, and Regulus should care about that. He should be highly concerned–but those concerns evaporate before he can even generate a game plan to consider addressing it. Most seem to assume that its just Regulus taking after his mother. TLDR I’m interested in seeing what information he drops (likely not entirely clearly) without thinking it through and how the changes in demeanor and method impact both those who grew up with Regulus Black and those who didn’t. Don’t worry about wangst, I’m much more interested in throwing weird or intense tings at others then have Regulus mope.

Choices mixed in with all of that, Regulus has found himself well and truly on his own about making choices for the first time in his life. Sure, Remus might have ideas on what he should do, and Sirius, and Marcus, and Narcissa—but all of them have different goals, different expectations of what Regulus could do and in the end, Regulus doesn’t have to do anything. At the onset the only thing he does know is that he must do something about the horcrux…but how? When, where, and why? I want to see how different interactions with various characters might influence those choices and how Regulus handles managing his own reigns ow for better or for worse.

Gender: its so easy to boil gender and trans experience into one narrative but so often things are far…messier then that. Regulus is a character who hasn’t felt the ability to think overly hard (or pursue if he has thought of it) alternatives to gender even if the Wix Community at large is accepting (people turn into frogs, after all). This game provides a unique chance to explore gender through the lense of a character who is learning and failing and not overly confident (or overly feminine) but genuine in that (at least) if nothing else. Also, does being a vampire effect Attisgalli Corrective Draught?

- ̗̀✰ •【 DOVE CAMERON, CISFEMALE, SHE/HER, 17】❝ did you see NARCISSA BLACK on the train back to hogwarts? they’re a PUREBLOOD in their SIXTH year as a SLYTHERIN. apparently they’re known as THE CYGNET the grounds; most likely because they give off an aura of SEWING RIBBONS ON POINTE SHOES, THE TASTE OF MINT AND CHOCOLATE, A FLOWER GROWING IN WINTER. of all the social media platforms, they’re definitely most obsessed with their INSTAGRAM probably because they’re LOYAL & POISED, but also HAUGHTY & SELF-DESTRUCTIVE. ❞┊「 sab, 17, est, she/her. 」

tw: abuse, self harm

narcissa is a mystery in a human, she’s an enigma, she’s a darling and i love her

born the youngest daughter of cygnus and druella black she was preceded by two other sisters but somehow always managed to be the preferred one

after two failed attempts on her parents account to create the perfect darling of pureblood society they found a win with narcissa

she was everything a well bred young girl should be. she lacked bellatrix’s aggressiveness and andromeda’s rebellion.

in her parents eyes she was perfect

that however didn’t mean she actually was. every mistake was greeted with the end of her fathers belt

then she would go upstairs, cover the bruises in makeup and go back to being the perfect girl she was

she was incredibly stressed and under enormous amounts of pressure

she felt she had no control in her life and so she gained back control the only way she knew how to on her own

she began to regularly self harm and it sent her into a downward spiral of depression

when her parents found out her father beat her again and she was taken to a private psychiatric ward to recover of course all of pureblood society thought she was at a young ladies school in the pyrenees

so yeah, to put it lightly. cissa’s seen some shit

at school cissa is the epitome of ice princess. she knows her status as a black could win her a million friends but she prefers to stay close with only a few people and keep to herself

SHE’S SO PRETENTIOUS. if you’re boring her you’ll know. she always says stuff about not wanting vapid and shallow conversation

she’s always put together, always poised. never even has a hair out of place. every breakdown she has, she does it very privately.

she doesn’t let people in like at ALL even close friends

tbh nobody has ever seen the real narcissa even narcissa doesn’t see her that much

under the surface she’s fiery, sharp tongued and smart as a whip.

she’s incredibly loyal to those who she loves.

super jaded from all her years of bad stuff. really can’t catch a break tbh

won’t go around bullying muggleborns but won’t associate w them either

it’s like a feat to be able to get under her skin to the point where she actually reacts tbh. you should be proud.

secretly she longs for love and to be wanted and cared for. she’s been in a hollow loveless family so long

would do anything for her family

doesn’t take kindly to fools or people pranking her

tbh her tongue is just as sharp as both of her sisters she just shows it less often

she knows when to speak up and when to be silent

she’s has lots of followers on insta for the talent of being rich and pretty (but dw its enchanted to where muggles can’t follow it)

she has a secret blog w a fair amount of followers where she writes a diary. it’s called “the memoirs of a swan.”

BELLATRIX LESTRANGE is A DEATH EATER in the war, even though HER official job is as AN OBLIVIATOR. the TWENTY EIGHT year old PUREBLOOD is known to be ASSERTIVE and QUICK WITTED but also SADISTIC and HOT HEADED. some might label them as THE HELLFIRE. fc: olivia munn

PINTEREST BOARD: (x) PLAYLIST: (x)

ANTHEMS:

HELLFIRE - BARNS COURTNEY // CALL ME DEVIL - FRIENDS IN TOKYO // DANGEROUS - MISS LI // HORNS - BRYCE FOX // WILD FIRE - DOROTHY // EVIL WAYS - BLUES SARACENO // WICKED GAMES - THE HOT DAMNS.

BACKGROUND / FAMILY:

Bellatrix Black came crashing into the world on the night before Christmas Eve. She wasn’t due for another four weeks, so her birth was a mostly unwelcome surprise --- but she was also the first child of Cygnus and Druella to carry on the Black legacy, which was an honor. A necessity.

After her birth, her father never really hid his disappointment --- it was no secret that a daughter was not what he had hoped for. He was an old fashioned man, and had prayed for a strong son, to bring glory to the family name. Bellatrix, small in size and eerily quiet as a baby, was far from that.

She became strong fast, because she had to be. The tiny infant who could barely muster a scream seemed like a faint memory, and was soon replaced by a mean toddler.

As a child, Bella was vicious. Biting, clawing, screaming and cursing were things she picked up fast, and she’d terrorize the other kids at the playground ( with an almost scary aim for her muggle born / half blood peers ). But she never hurt her sisters, and instead came to protect them.

Once she reached the age of six, she calmed down a bit, and instead started following her father around ( and was lovingly referred to as his ‘little shadow’ ). Eager to prove herself, she learned everything that a son of Cygnus would have learnt. She was determined to show her father that being a girl would not stop her from becoming worthy of the Black throne, to carry his name with pride. Over the years of her childhood and adolescence, Bellatrix forged herself into the golden girl, a respectable heir in the making. Desperate to wear the crown.

Most of her childhood was characterized by harsh words, strict rules and high expectations. Her family’s reputation weighed heavy on her shoulders, constantly pressuring her to excel. Luckily, she shared her parents’ ambition and values, and had no problems conforming to their rule. Which also meant that she could get away with much else.

She was close with her sisters, and even as a young girl, she would have gone to war for the both of them. She still would, for Narcissa.

HOGWARTS YEARS.

Bellatrix had been duly prepped before arriving at Hogwarts. She was the first of their children to walk the halls, so it was important to both Druella and Cygnus that Bellatrix knew how to behave. Who to fraternize with. Who to avoid. Who was worthy of her time. Her parents had also made sure that she already had the appropriate friends --- and play dates with other pureblood kids were a common occurrence when Bellatrix was younger.

During her Hogwarts years, she kept out of trouble. For the most part. Her problems with impulse control and uncontrollable rage got her into some fights. She was also known for mocking ( and occasionally jinxing ) muggle born kids. But mostly she kept to her fellow Slytherins, biding her time.

Took the following electives while at Hogwarts: alchemy, care of magical creatures, study of ancient runes.

Was in the charms club, the potions club and the dueling club.

She was a beater for the Slytherin team during her time at the school, and was notorious for her cruel playing style and foul tricks. In her opinion, playing dirty was just part of the game though, so....

During her sixth year at the school, Bellatrix was recruited into the Death Eaters. With them, she found a second home.

AFTER HOGWARTS.

After graduating from Hogwarts, Bellatrix took a year off from her studies. The official reason was that she needed to “find herself”. Whatever the fuck that meant. Obviously, it was a lie to hide what she was really up to. In reality, Bellatrix was at Voldemort’s side, learning leglilimency and occlumency, all the while developing her dark magic and her shitty personality.

At the age of nineteen, Bellatrix found work as an obliviator. Though the choice had ultimately been hers to make, the dark lord was always whispering in her ear, encouraging her to infiltrate the ministry. The goal was to have sleeper agents of death eaters in every department once it was time to go to war. It also helped that becoming an oblivator just made sense --- fucking with the minds of muggles could already be counted as a hobby (albeit a twisted one), and she had always been good at taking things that didn’t belong to her... Memories would be no different.

At the age of twenty two, Bellatrix married Rodolophus Lestrange, and secured a worthy pureblood union for her legacy.

Among the Death Eaters, Bellatrix is in the inner circle. She considers herself the dark lord’s right hand, and prides herself on being his most loyal servant.

AS A PERSON.

Bellatrix is a fucking shit show. She is deranged, a little bit unhinged, impulsive, angry as hell, childish, ruthless, playful, arrogant and lethal ( and she barely has a moral compass to speak of ). But she’s also calculating, focused, quick on her feet, protective, fiercely loyal, assertive and intuitive. Bella often contradicts herself --- she has grown up believing that it’s best to be cold and devoid of emotions, but she’s a highly emotional person by nature. She tries to suppress that as best as she can, but she usually boils over pretty fast. Other emotions are usually translated into anger as well, so that’s fun. I think the best way to describe her is that she’s just fire, always burning cold.

Most people probably suspect that Bellatrix is a death eater, because she’s not exactly subtle about it. She won’t outright SAY it, but she enjoys a game of cat and mouse, and will heavily imply... stuff. Especially to the aurors, who are her favorite people to taunt.

Doesn’t have the most finesse. I like thinking of her as the Hammer™. Gets shit done, but not in the most Delicate or Intricate way. Intensely focused, and can control herself when needed, but she usually finds that it’s not.

STYLE / FASHION / APPEARANCE.

Bellatrix has jet black eyes ( resembling the pits of hell ) and the hair to match. It falls in messy curls over her shoulders, and she doesn’t bother with it ( and doesn’t cut it either tbh, so it’s very long ).

Usually wears dark red lipstick ( to hide her sins && match the blood of enemies ).

Dresses mostly in black. Has to wear clothes that can fit into the muggle world while at work ( since she is often out in the field, interacting with muggles ). While there, she wears a well worn leather jacket ( with shoulder pads, in true 70s style ), and wide, black pants.

Files her nails into long claws, and paints them black.

Is tall.

plotting ideas below the cut!!!

purebloods:

childhood acquaintances for sure. bonus points if in the sacred 28, because you know the blacks were all over that shit and wanting their daughters to fraternize with the ~~~right crowd~~~. andy is more cynical now, but when she was little she’d give everyone a chance to be friends. she was a very open-minded lil tyke who wanted to see the best in everyone, and generally was very easily interested/intrigued in other people. with that being said, there would definitely be people who would give her v bad vibes and thus she would steer clear

current ties? andy is much more skeptical of the pureblooded circle nowadays but she also has a very difficult time letting people she genuinely cares about go? i can imagine there would be a few genuine friendships forged from the good ol days that she would cling to a bit, even with her evolving belief system. whether or not they would feel the same way is a different story though - there would probably be some friends who would think andy was a bad influence and want nothing to do with her anymore?? sign me up for that angst tbh

fellow black sheep even though there probably aren’t very many of these but holla

friends:

slytherins for obvious reasons. they were the only sorts of people she was raised being surrounded by

other unlikely school friends would probably be a bit of an eclectic mix? i think in the beginning andy would have tried her hardest to stay within the slytherin circle that her family expected, but the last half of her academic career would’ve consisted of a bit more drifting, just because she’d get so bored by her housemates lmao. she’s a very curious individual who is not super spontaneous herself but craves interesting people?? so there could be a few random friends from school thrown in thee. she’s def a bit intimidating on the surface so it would take someone open-minded probably to fit in this category

fellow academics since andromeda was (and is) a very smart, driven gal who likes to associate with other smart cookies

work friends or people met at mungo’s because andy genuinely loves what she does as a healer? being a career woman was not an intended path for her to take (and she lowkey got dragged for it) but she loves it. she could be a bit of a mentor to a younger, new trainee maybe? or could have interacted with other people who came in to mungo’s? (aurors or law enforcement or anyone who could be injured via duel or anyone really) sidenote: she’s firm and maternal and bossy af when she’s taking care of someone

anyone who needs someone to knock them down a few pegs because she’s blunt as hell and will tell you if you’re doing something dumb ok

and someone who can tell her to chill because as much as she craves freedom, she’s too cautious and afraid of straying too far from her family roots lest she lose everything she’s had. she needs a lil spontaneity and sincerity and simplicity in her life cough ted

mentors she needs genuine sincere friends to look up to man and want to build her up and tell her to follow her dreams

enemies:

people who generally drag her for being a black. she’s proud and defensive of where she comes from (ironic right??), is very protective over her sisters, and also can seem very intimidating from afar so there’s probably a lot of people who don’t like her just by principle. could be a few who started here and then they eventually became friends?

extreme pureblood supremacists who - to her - seem too cruel. she’s very frank and vocal and will call someone an ass if she thinks they’re being an ass, so there’s that.

ex-friends who don’t approve of how lenient and open-minded andy is now? i’m sure it was cute and endearing when she was 11 but now that she’s supposed to be getting serious about settling down and committing to the pureblood lifestyle, it’s probably less cute lmao.

romance:

tedward is endgame ofc

talks of betrothal since as andy gets older and more disinterested in married life, the more desperate druella and cygnus are to marry her off quick lmao, especially with bella and narcissa already taken care of. somehow andromeda manages to dance around anything actually being committed to but there’s probably a few guys who would be in this category? because lbr she’s a black and she’s pretty.

general pureblooded interests because, again, she’s a black and she’s pretty whether it be for marriage or not. esp in school andy would have had this air of mystery about her and wouldn’t have slept around much at all really, so was probably this unattainable figure?? she would have dated a few in this category to go along with what her family wanted, but they would’ve been short-lifed

mutual platonic dating omfg the hilarity of neither of them wanting to see each other but wanting to get their families off their backs for 5 seconds about seeing someone suitable

actual old flames she is also - again - a sucker for anyone interesting. there might be one or two people other than ted who she would have had a rendezvous or 2 with but never talked or mentioned it again

and recent flames because after she graduated, moved out, etc. she would be exploring herself and more free to pursue any sort of attraction she might have without her parents breathing down her neck?

#plot #there are so many more i'm sure but this is all i can think of rn bye
